Q8: Assume that the minimum PRR is needed <strong>for</strong> contact test of a given<br />

steel plate is 240 Hz. How much volume would be covered under test if the<br />

PRR is set at 120 Hz.<br />

Answer:<br />

Volume inspected by ultrasound per unit time<br />

= PRR x Pulse length x Cross sectional area of beam at point of interest.<br />

= PRR x constant (k)<br />

Where k = Pulse length x Cross sectional area of beam at point of interest<br />

The ration of volume covered = 120k / 250k x 100 = 50%
